Given high student interest in the 2009 International Accounting Programs, enrollment for the International Accounting Programs will take place by randomized lottery.  Enrollment in the programs is limited (30 participants for each program).  Students are encouraged to review the specific program website to determine their eligibility for the program. We also encourage students to consult with their MPA Academic Advisor and to speak with a CIBER Study Abroad coordinator or peer advisor.

  lottery interest list in the CIBER office (CBA North 3.204);
